Carmes de Rieussec

Les Carmes de Rieussec offers a refined and expressive profile, though it is generally lighter and more accessible than the grand vin. It typically features a bouquet of honeyed apricot, orange marmalade, and ripe tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, with additional notes of vanilla and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture and bright acidity. Flavors of candied citrus, dried fruit, and a hint of floral notes create a balanced and harmonious experience. The finish is clean and persistent, reflecting the wine’s elegance and the quality of its parent estate. Les Carmes de Rieussec provides a sophisticated expression of Sauternes, offering excellent value and versatility for a range of pairings.
